Help[Opinions] Quick off-topic question
in reply to a message by Murasaki
I don't actually like it, but Volfgango is almost fascinating. I think Wolfgang is already so heavy and awkward as to be unbearable that any kind of twist that makes it longer or more complicated just... wow. Really all I can say is "what a name."
Quick question for you on the subject of Italian names: have you ever heard Rocca used as a female variant of Rocco? My mother had an uncle Rocco whose name was anglicized to Roy (not necessarily accurately, but oh well). He joked that I should be named after him, his suggestion being Royal. :-X My mother and I later hypothesized that he should have recommended Rocca. Is that a name that actually occurs or is that sort of falsely applying the general pattern of feminizing masculine names?
